In a post on X, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said the ongoing strikes resulted in civilian casualties, displacement of people and the destruction of residential structures and public infrastructure.

UNRWA said that nine in ten people across the Gaza Strip are internally displaced, including people who have been repeatedly displaced (some up to 10 times).

It said that following 300 days of war, the health system remains barely functional with 90 hospitals and primary health care centers not functioning.

UNRWA affirmed that it remains a major actor in the health sector, providing health services across 10 primary health centers and up to 100 mobile medical points across the Gaza Strip.

Since October 7, the Israeli regime’s army has maintained a relentless military offensive in the Gaza Strip, defying a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.

Local health authorities report that nearly 39,700 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed, and over 91,700 injured.

Over 10 months into the brutal war, Gaza has been left in ruins, exacerbated by a severe blockade restricting access to food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered the country to immediately halt its military operation in Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge before the city was invaded on May 6.
